The Rotary Club of Seguin was excited to welcome Seguin Fire Chief Garrick Herbert as our guest speaker today!

Chief Herbert gave our members a great look at the many ways the Seguin Fire Department serves our community — from fire suppression and Advanced Life Support EMS to technical rescue, hazardous materials response, fire prevention, emergency management, public education and community risk reduction.

We also enjoyed getting to know our new chief a little better and hearing about his vision for the department as Seguin continues to grow.

Thank you, Chief Herbert, for spending your lunch hour with us, and thank you to all of the men and women of the Seguin Fire Department who work every day to keep our community safe. ❤️🚒

🇯🇵 WELCOME TO SEGUIN, AKO! 🇺🇸

The Rotary Club of Seguin is SO excited to welcome our Rotary Youth Exchange student, Ako from Japan, to Texas and to our Rotary family! 💙💛

Ako arrived last Thursday after a very long journey from Japan and has already been getting a true taste of Texas life with her wonderful host family, Jeremy and Amy Pedersen. So far, her adventures have included some Texas essentials — Buc-ee’s, Target, and Clear Springs Restaurant! 🤠

And today is a BIG day… Ako’s first day of 10th grade at Seguin High School! 🏫📚❤️

Help us wish her an amazing first day and give her a big Seguin welcome! We hope she knows she has an entire Rotary family cheering her on as she begins this incredible year.

One of the things that makes Rotary Youth Exchange so special is the true exchange of cultures and friendships. While Ako is here experiencing life in Texas, her family back home in Japan is also hosting a Rotary Youth Exchange student from Texas!

Ako, we are so happy you’re here! We can’t wait to watch you experience Seguin, Texas, and all the adventures this year has in store. Welcome to the family!

Today, the Rotary Club of Seguin was pleased to welcome Terry Robinson and Alex Rojas from the United Way of Comal and Guadalupe Counties as our guest speakers.

We enjoyed learning more about the incredible work United Way is doing throughout our communities and their exciting expansion of services into Guadalupe County.

Since 2008, United Way has awarded more than $12.5 million to over 250 programs supporting needs such as food assistance, medical care, youth programs, services for seniors and individuals with disabilities, crisis assistance, education, and so much more.

Their mission—to unite the community and focus resources for those in need—fits perfectly with Rotary’s commitment to Service Above Self.

Thank you to our guests for joining us today and sharing how United Way is making a difference right here in Comal and Guadalupe Counties. We look forward to seeing the impact of their continued work in our community!

Pastor Marcus shared how Luther House is creating life-changing opportunities through its Adult Education program, helping adults earn their GED while equipping them with the tools and confidence to pursue brighter futures. We were encouraged to hear about the program’s successful growth, strong student participation, and exciting plans to expand services—including career readiness, childcare during class time, laptop loans, and additional support for students.

One highlight of the presentation was seeing our Rotary grant at work, helping provide a dedicated learning space and technology for students. It’s always rewarding to see how Rotary’s investments make a lasting impact right here in our community.

Thank you, Pastor Marcus, for sharing your inspiring vision and for the incredible work Luther House is doing to transform lives through education.

There’s just something special about the Biggest Small-Town Fourth of July Parade in Texas. 🇺🇸

Long before the first float rolls down the street, members of the Rotary Club of Seguin, along with Seguin Main Street and City of Seguin volunteers, are hard at work behind the scenes, helping stage parade entries and keeping everything organized so this cherished community tradition can shine.

Today, Rotarians could be found serving our community in countless ways—not only as parade volunteers, but also through their local businesses, leadership roles, law enforcement service, and as this year’s outstanding Parade Marshals, Tome Walters and Brad Webb.

Service doesn’t stop when the meeting ends—it’s who our members are.

We’re incredibly proud to be part of a community that comes together to celebrate our nation’s independence and grateful for the opportunity to serve the place we call home.

Happy Fourth of July, Seguin! ❤️🤍💙
